St. Catharines Transit offering free rides to election polls all day

Any St. Catharines residents who did not previously have transportation to the election polls today (June 2) does now.

St. Catharines is offering a chauffeured ride in a $350,000 vehicle to anyone who needs it. Most people refer to it – public transit or the St. Catharines bus.

All day today voters simply need to show their voter information card when boarding and they will be issued a day pass for a return trip from your polling station.

Ward 4 Councillor Karrie Porter – or as she has tagged herself on Twitter, Councillor Karrie “ride the bus” Porter – posted, “It’s Election Day in Ontario! If you need a ride to the polls, St Catharines Transit has your back. Just show your voter card to grab a free ride to the polls. Polls are open 9 to 9. St Catharines spans 3 ridings.”

She is absolutely correct when it comes to St. Catharines. While many think of the St. Catharines riding as a catch-all for the entire city, they are slivers of it in both the Niagara Centre and Niagara West ridings to the east and south of the city.
